Elder Taylor’s Adventist Experience
In a letter written last month Elder C. O. Taylor, of Norwood, N. Y., one of the early believers, says:— If I live till the fifteenth of next month, I shall be eighty-six years old. I began searching the Word of God on the soon coming of Christ in glory in the winter of 1842-43. I identified myself with the Adventist people in 1844. I began keeping the Bible Sabbath in 1852, and became a subscriber of the REVIEW AND HERALD the same fall. It was then published at Rochester, N. Y. I entered the public ministry in 1864. The advent cause has a great history, but it is nearly finished. I admire your zeal in saying that the King is soon to come. The message is rising, and will soon go to all the world. God's hand will guide. How forcibly this reminds us of the fact that we are very near the end of “this generation”! How short the time is! “Yet a little while, how short! how short! the coming One will be here, and will not delay.”
